We were in the apartment.

"Oh look, Saturn 3 is on." Sheldon said pointing it out.

"I don't want to watch Saturn 3. Deep Space Nine is better." I pointed out.

"How is Deep Space Nine better than Saturn 3?" Sheldon asked.

"Simple subtraction will tell you it's six better." Raj said agreeing with me.

"Compromise. Watch Babylon 5." Leo piped up.

"In what sense is that a compromise?" I asked him.

"Well, five is partway between three... Never mind." Leo tried.

"I'll tell you what, how about we go rock-paper-scissors?" Raj asked.

"Ooh, I don't think so. No, anecdotal evidence suggests that in the game of rock-paper-scissors, players familiar with each other will tie 75 to 80% of the time due to the limited number of outcomes. I suggest rock-paper-scissors- lizard-Spock." I tell him.

"What?" Raj asks us looking confused.

"It's very simple. Look, scissors cuts paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitates lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. And as it always has, rock crushes scissors." Sheldon explains.

"Okay, I think I got it." Raj says as they get ready to play.

"Rock-paper-scissors- lizard-Spock! (Both hold up the symbol for Spock) Oh!" They both say.

"(entering, wearing an eye patch) Hello, boys." Howard said making me look at him confused.

"Ahoy, matey." Leo tells him.

"Noticed the eye patch, did you? It's all part of a technique I've been studying for picking up women. You employ a visual display designed to make yourself distinctive and memorable." Howard tries.

"Oh yes, like the male peacock with brilliant plumage or the rutting baboon with engorged hindquarters." I stated.

"Or in this case, the bar mitzvah boy with pinkeye." Leo says making me laugh.

"Mock me if you will, but it works. You show up at a club in something distinctive, scope out your target and toss out some negs." Howard tries.

"What are negs?" Raj asks.

"A neg is a negative compliment that throws a pretty woman off her game, like "Normally, I'm not turned on by big teeth, but on you, they work." I've got a whole list of 'em. Who wants to be my wingman?" Howard asks us.

"You're not gonna need wingman, you're gonna need a paramedic." I respond standing up.

"Howard, your scooter's blocking my car. Aw, did you get pinkeye again?" Penny asks as she walks in. I walk off to the bathroom and start throwing up. This pregnancy has been kicking me up the ass.

"Hey how are you?" Raj asks joining me in the bathroom.

"It's terrible. I feel so ill." I respond putting my hair up in a pony tail. 

"When do you have your first scan?" He asks me.

"Tomorrow. But it is also an appointment to find out the gender." I tell him.

"Is Sheldon joining you tomorrow?" Raj asked.

"Hopefully he will. But if not Penny will be there. She will be there even if he isn't." I explained to him.

"Promise me as soon as you know you'll let me know?" He asked me.

"As soon as I am home I will let you know. I promise." I tell him wrapping my pinkie around his.

It was the day of the appointment and I was really nervous for it. Penny drove me and Sheldon to the appointment. This was also the day we found out the gender as well. 

"Did you know there is a 51% chance of the baby being a boy and 49% change of having a girl. Twins are a lot rarer then single. They are like 3% of the time." Sheldon says looking bewteen me and Penny.

"Yes Sheldon I did. I have been researching everything to do with being pregnant since I found out." I tell him. We get to the hospital. 

"Doctor Hofstadter?" The doctor says.

"That's me." I stated walking into the room.

"You're the dad?" The doctor asks Sheldon.

"Yes Doctor Cooper." He answered.

"I'm her best friend and moral support." Penny stated.

"Are you commutable with your friend being in the room?" The doctor asked me.

"Yes I am." I answered.

"Okay then. Lets get started." The doctor stated.

"It appears you are almost 3 months along. The baby seems to be very healthy. Do you want me to write the gender down on a piece of paper or are you fine with me announcing it?" He asked me.

"Tell me. I want to know." I answer. Sheldon grabs one of my hands while Penny grabs the other. Both of them focused on the monitor.

"You have a very healthy baby boy." He tells me. Penny smiles at me and Sheldon kisses my head.

"OMG. Look at him." Sheldon says. We have pictures printed off. One for both me and Sheldon. One for Leo, Georgie, and Missy. We also had three printed off for Penny, Raj and Howard. But also one for Mary. I got home and called Raj right away to come over.

"How was it?" He asked me. I handed him a photo. "Omg. Look at the baby." He tells me.

"The photo's yours. We have one. Leo will have one when I find him. So does Penny and Howard. You are all adopted aunt and uncles." I tell him. He hugs me tightly. Leo happens to walk in with a laundry basket.

"Here you go uncle Leo." I tell him handing him a photo.

"The baby is tiny." He says looking at the picture before hugging me tight. I could tell he was going to cry at the picture.

"I know. You're just in time. I was just about to tell Raj the gender of the baby." I tell him.

"Well perfect timing." Leo stated as Howard burst through the door.

"There's our favourite girl." Howard saying hugging me.

"I have a present for you Uncle Howard." I tell him before handing him a picture.

"Omg. The baby defiantly has Sheldon's nose." Howard says making us laugh. "What's the gender?" He looks at me.

"Well I was about to say before you burst through the door." I tell him.

"Well tell us whether we have a niece or nephew." Leo stated.

"You have a nephew." I tell them. They all cheer before hugging me. Leo kisses me on the head.

"I can't believe I have a nephew. It's so unreal." Leo tells me making laugh. A few hours later we were in the apartment. Raj catches me up with what happened while I was at the appointment. He also caught me up with what happened at the university while I was working from home. 

"Okay, who gets the extra dumpling?" Raj asked looking between us.

"I reckon we should just give the extra dumpling to the pregnant woman." Howard says. 

"Good point. Alex here you go." Raj says giving me the dumpling.

"So kind of you guys." I say.

"Oh, hey, guys." Leo says.

"Hello." Me and Sheldon says. I continue eating the dumpling.

"Hey." Raj says.

"Hi, Howard. Howard?" Leo tries.

"Sheldon, Alex." Howard says looking at us.

"Howard is employing a schoolyard paradigm in which you are, for all intents and purposes, deceased. He intends to act on this by not speaking to you, feigning an inability to hear you when you speak and otherwise refusing to acknowledge your existence." Sheldon says as I look up.

"That's just ridiculous. Why are you cooperating with him?" Leo asks us.

"I'm eating food. I'm not getting involved with this." I tell him.

"I don't make the rules, Leonard." Sheldon says looking at him.

"Howard, come on, I didn't plan on this. These things just happen. Usually not to me, but they do happen." Leo tries.

"Did someone just feel a cold breeze?" Howard asks me.

"I believe this is an extension of the death metaphor. The cold breeze is the so-called ectoplasmic issue of a disembodied soul passing by." Sheldon says as there's a knock at the door.

"Oh, hi, Steph, come on in." Leo says. So this is the girl the boys are arguing over.

"Is this a bad time?" Steph asks us.

"Yeah, but I don't see a better one on the horizon, so..." Leo says.

"Oh, if it isn't Mrs. Dead to Me." Howard says.

"Hello, Howard." Steph says.

"Sheldon?" Howard asks.

"Look I'm sorry, you violated the terms of your metaphor by acknowledging her existence. I'm out." Sheldon says.

"Me too. I can't be bothered to deal with this." I stay standing up.

"I guess that is your sister?" Steph asks looking at me.

"I'm not competition if that is what you're thinking. I am literally three months pregnant with Sheldon's baby." I tell her walking away. I was watching the tv in my bedroom when the news came up about life on mars. I walked into the living room because I knew Howard was in there.

"I heard about the mars rover Howard. I'm sorry." I say hugging him.
